California's Strong Consumer Protection Laws

California leads the nation in consumer rights—2024 saw further expansions, especially for transparency and fair pricing.

  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) & California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): Residents gain extensive privacy rights, control over data, and legal recourse for violations. (Read more)
  • Transparent Pricing: As of July 2024, businesses must display all fees up front; hidden fees ("drip pricing") now banned. (See update)
  • Compensation & Relief Fund: Victims of unfair practices may now receive full compensation from a dedicated fund under new law.
  • Sanctions for Refusing Mediation/Arbitration: Courts can penalize companies for rejecting ADR without justification—a pathway for higher monetary awards to proactive consumers. (See details)
